Sector Development

Our programs have been shaped by our findings from long-term research studies about factors for success for farm and food businesses.

One of our strategic goals is to use our knowledge and relationships to catalyze, support, or lead systematic efforts to accelerate the development of the sector.﻿ As part of a cohort of more than 50 farm and food business technical assistance providers and funders, The Carrot Project is leading the development of a strategic agenda, outlined in The Blueprint, for the development of a regional network of organizations, programs and services that supports the long-term economic viability of farm and food businesses.﻿

"I have always dreamed of starting my own farm, but never even started thinking about how to make it happen, because I felt that there was no way I could ever finance a farm. The Carrot Project helped me to understand the financing options there are for young farmers, and more importantly left me feeling confident that its possible and inspired to start making my dream a reality."
